But that set the stage for a lot of what is now. I don't have time now to respond to all you wrote but will try to maybe later. In general, and I know this may still be unclear, I was thinking that more Marxist-styled ideology subtly influences many schools and colleges. Just because someone is studying business and getting an MBA does not necessarily mean that, ideologically, that they are a capitalist. And yes, there are many "variations" if you will, of Marxism. I found something suprising last night when I went to the links on Professor Gil-White that Kate provided. On his website where he has his letters on our current war, he has a link to another article titled "The Road Taken." When you link to that article you are taken to a website titled "Common Dreams - Breaking News & Views for the Progressive Community." Go to the link for "Community" and read about many of the organizations that affiliate with the Progressives and their philosophy. There are links there that are mainstream in the U.S. and those are not the ones I wish to point out. There are many other links of organizations which take the position of being "anti-corporate" and working toward "global" solutions and so on. To me, a lot of Progressive ideology looks like Marxism reconstituted in a pretty, new age sensitive package - a kind of enlightened neo-communism with strong "One World" overtones. It sounds really wonderful, but scratch the surface of it a little deeper and you may have some other questions. Kakki
